Not comparable

It's a matter of principle, pick any of hundreds of examples if you want a comparison

Again, not comparable

Some people

I'm not the one defending paedophiles.

You are attacking civilized people who are trying to tell you that a lynching crowd is not the society.

So where's the lynching crowd aside from in all your imaginations?

This comment gives me hope. I hate all the reddit kneejerk reactionaries. Sure, he may be a scumbag, but perhaps we should make sure beyond a reasonable doubt first.

Travelling overseas to an area rife with sex trafficking and getting caught in a hotel with 2 children he has absolutely no relation to is to you not beyond a reasonable doubt?

As I've said elsewhere, consider that you've said nothing of any concern for those children, about the poverty they very likely live in, nor for the sex workers who are being the brunt of the fallout from this.

Your concern is all on the paedo sex tourist caught in a hotel with 2 children.
